Scary Bear Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 More irritating are the ones who crave attention for it. It starts by visibly putting coat and scarf on, then it’s an exclamation of how cold it is, probably repeated about 5 times, then it’s shivering in a way of making sure everyone can see it with a loud ‘brrrrrrrr’, as if anyone actually makes that noise naturally. We fucking get it, you’re cold. ETA - was there not also some lunatic feminist who argued that temperatures in offices were proof of how sexist the workplace was If you tell them it’s not cold, it’s 21 degrees. “Feel my hands!” “That could be construed as inappropriate touching and result in disciplinary action being taken.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you learn to organise a fucking meeting at a time which the proper people can attend you useless fannies. And if you can’t, you find somebody else to go because I’m not wasting my time doing that for you. When I was temping I had a boss who sent me in his place to the odd meeting. Nobody knew who I was, so they took me seriously and just talked rubbish and got nothing done as usual. One meeting a really high up guy was running it and found me out fairly quickly, though was kind about it. Scared the shit out of everyone else and it turned out to be an amazingly focused and productive meeting. Send Tony.

And this week, as it's a couple of degrees cooler than it has been, the electric heaters under the desks are out, the jackets are on and the scarves too. I'm sat here in my shirt and tie scared to move in case I pass out with the heat. The air isn't moving at all. Old people are gimps. Was working in an old folks home during that heatwave and the heating is always on. The place was a fucking oven and I had to keep going outside to the 20+ degree heat to cool down. Old folk are truly the worst oh and thanks for Brexit and unionism ya Auld dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBo10 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 In a car park looking for a space and you ‘see’ one. Head towards it to discover there’s a really small car in it. Gets right in my nerves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bloke. Why?Good one. I've had to reject 3 meeting invites from the same person because I've already got other meetings at the proposed times. Of course its too hard for her to use Outlook properly to see this. Or she's one of those who thinks her meeting is more important and I should cancel the existing one.Vaginawomble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never check if anyone had other meetings which clash.Just click ‘decline’. Personally, I blame their shitty managers for skimping on training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Fifth/sixth officials being located on the same side of the half as the linesman. Why do they do this? Surely would make more sense to have them on the other side of the goal so they can see what the linesman might not be able to?
